I am the only surviving child of James Glover De d my sister the only other child he had being dead some twenty years. I have often heard my father say that he was drafted in the Penna Militia during the time of the Revolutionary war three different times for three months each time two of which he served personally in the army of Washington but one of the times having cut his foot he was unable to go and hired a substitute paying him a guinea in addition to his monthly pay I cannot now rec d the names of his officers not having felt any particular interest in it at that time - Though I have often heard him name them But I know he drew up a number of years ago a full statement of his services names of officers and which my husband Rev d Daniel W m Drew took to Judge Shippen of the M c adaville Court with a view of receiving or applying for a pension but the Judge gave it as his opinion that unless he himself had been out three times he was not entitled to receive it and that no pension was granted to Artificers. He then laid the paper away and had it amongst his other papers a short time before his death. Where it now is I know not but believing it to be in the hands of one of his executors I have had application made for it but received no satisfaction in relation to it. On this account my memory of facts is very imperfect as I had always supposed that if he did not again make application that paper would be my guide I remember to have heard him often speak of being in the battle at Trenton and state that he was one of the men left to keep up the fires on the night that Washington suddenly left and stormed Princeton.

In regard to his birth he said the account given him by his parents was that he was born July 9 th 1784 but I do not remember to have seen any record made by him; until the day of his death which occurred October 23. 1844 he never had any difficulty in this date. He was I believe Born in Maryland but at an early age removed to Pennsylvania. He was an enlisted Mechanick or artificer and was he said as completely enlisted as any soldier in the army. He worked part of the time in Philadelphia part in Lancaster City but the place that I recollect hearing him speak most about was Humelstown He was engaged in making gun barrels and bayonets for the Army and occasionally shoeing horses for the Cavalry. I have often heard him speak of Mr Rittenhouse (Benjamin or David I do not recollect which) as Superintendent of the Shop and tell many anecdotes of him a number of which I recollect He (Rittenhouse) advised my father to take care of his money (Continental currency) saying that it would all be as good as gold or silver. He kept it as advised for a considerable length of time but finally lost it nearly all. I can not tell how long he worked in that Shop (he used to call it the Continental Shop) but I have heard him say that he was engaged in the service of the United States as soldier and artificer most of the time the war lasted. I was born in the year 1784 and during the fall of the next year (as I have heard my parents say) we removed from Lancaster to Washington Co in the state of Pennsylvania. During his residence there about the year 1792 or 93 my father served a tour against the Indians of the N.W. Territory as capt of a company under Col Williamson. But was in

no battle nor did they overtake the Indians He resided at Buffalo Washington Co in all nine years, and removed into Allegheny county and resided there up to 1824 or 25 (Except seven years residence in Cranberry Township Butler Co. Pa.) - When father and mother gave up house-keeping and spent the remainder of the time until their deaths with their relations - father being with us about half his time or a little more and the remainder with my sister or her children, Whilst in Butler County he was elected a ruling Elder in the Church and ordained to that office - After his return to Allegheny he was elected in the Pitts- burgh congregation and served in that office under Revs Henderson and afterwards under Dr Bruce both of whom are now dead This was in the Associate Presbyterian Church (often known as Seceder) of which he was a member from an early period until the time of his death Doubtless many in these places especially in Pittsburgh secular conversations with him in relation to his services and could attest to the fact that he was as far as known regarded as a revolutionary soldier and was a man of the strictest probity of character I have thus given all I can distinctly recollect so far as I can see any use in making application for a pension in his right which I wish to do believing that he had a just right to it and knowing that whilst not in Reva he even looked upon the reception of a pension for his services as an honor as well as a right. but was discouraged by his former attempts and dissuaded by his friends who then considered it rather as a charity from government than a remuneration for his services Dwight Halstead in open court being a court of records at Meadville Crawford County Penna Province.

Before me one of the Aldermen in and for the said City personally came D. Gilliland who being sworn according to Law deposeth and saith that he became first acquainted with James Glover about the year one thousand eight hundred & one and was very intimately acquainted with him for many years after that date and boarded in his family for a short time, about four or five years after our first acquaintance I have often heard of him speak of his services and the incidents that occurred in the Revolutionary War he always stated that he acted in the capacity of Artillerer as a Black- smith to the best of my recollection in the Pennsylvania Line. It was the understanding in the community that he to served as such during the American Revolution and I have no doubt myself of the fact, at that time he resided in Allegheny County but died about 1844 in Butler County his wife died previous to him he had two daughters. The eldest Nancy was married to my brother Barnett Gilliland, both her and her husband are now deceased, leaving several children, The other daughter was Mary married to the Rev d Daniel McLean and is said to be still living in Cambria County, W th James Glover was a very strictly honest and upright man of the strictest veracity and all the time I was acquainted with him he was an elder of the Seceder Church in good standing

Deposition of Rev. Thomas L. Guthrie, D. D. late pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian Church near Bakerstown Allegheny County, Penn a in the case of the objection of Mrs. Mary McLean for the pension due to her father at the time of his death: viz James Glance a sol- dier of the Revolution. —————
That for nearly thirty years before his death, I became acquainted with the deceased, James Glance known and reported to be a soldier and artisan of the Revolution of 1776. — That he sustained an excellent character for honesty, sobriety, good morals and religion — That he adorned the doc- trines of God and Savior by a holy and exemplary life and conversation. — That he repeatedly in our familiar intercourse read to me a manuscript memorandum of his services in the Revolutionary war — That said manuscript written in his own hand writing, affirmed and declared that he was born and raised in Chester County Penn a — And that there while prosecuting his trade of blacksmith, he was three times drafted into the public service of the United States — That twice he actually served, and once he served by employing or paying a substitute: being at the time unable to serve from wounds, and injuries family received. And under the debilitating effects he was laboring. — That at one time he served six months, during which time, he fought in the battle of Trenton N. J. And also that he was one of the soldiers who crossed the Delaware, and attacked and took Princeton. — That in another draft he was detailed to work at the United States Forge at Haverstown Penn a in making arms for the U. S. Army — And that there he spent several months as an artisan. In his manuscript memorandum —

which he read to me for the last time in the Month of August A.D. 1844. As a free Unkles before his death, he opined that the United States was debtor to him for services rendered, that he considered himself entitled to a pension, and to a considerable amount of monthly pay, which had never been settled, and that he would have presented his claims in due form; but that some of his relations were censuring. — At the close of life he retained the proper exercise of his mental powers. He died in a good old age upwards of 90 years; on the 23 d day of October Anna  Swain 1844 in the house of his son-in-law Samuel Marshall, Butler County Penn a . I was present at his death and burial.
I understand that his manuscript memorandum about the time of his death was lost, or that after his death it could not be found. The character of James Glavin, however, places his declarations in a high position before the Authorities of the United States.
At the time of his death he left no widow, and but one surviving child, viz. Mary Glavin who intermarried with Rev. Daniel McLean of Crawford County Penn a . The character of the deceased James Glavin — a Reformatory soldier; and of his daughter Mrs. Mary McLean, are alike creditable, and entitled to respect. And I do not believe that the any claim would be set up without a firm persuasion that morally and legally it was due.

Watford May 12/93 Sir,
Chief of the Pension Bureau. I wrote sometime ago to the Pension department asking for information relative to a pension granted by the Government to the heirs of James Glover a soldier in the Revolution - I have never recd a reply, and do not know whether it was necessary to forward a fee or not - do obtain a copy of said pension - I have very little data to aid in the research, except that the soldier above spoken of was

in what was known as the Artificer's Corps - and that the pension was granted to his daughter Mary  Glora McLean , in the fall of the year 1852. Will you kindly inform me, whether I will have to pay for such investigation, or to obtain a copy of the pension -

Waterford Apr 6 th 1893 To the Clerk of the Pension Office - Dear Sir -
I would like a copy of the pension given by the Government to Jas Glover for services rendered by him during the Revolutionary war - The pension was not awarded him during life - but after his death some years. was given to his daughter Mary Glover McLean - I have no data to help you find it - only that James Glover was in the Pa troops I think, was in winter quarters at Valley Forge -

and the petition was collected I think some where in the early fifties from 1850 to 51-2 or 3.
It was either in the Penna or Maryland forest.
Will you kindly let me know whether a copy is obtainable or not - on such meagre information and I'd very much greatly oblige.
